Growing support for abortion rights in the United States has resulted in an alarming alliance between pro-choice groups like Planned Parenthood and corporate interests.
Regarding abortion rights, there appears to be a fierce rivalry among companies in the Dobbs period. Hundreds of CEOs are nearly jumping over each other to announce that they would cover the cost of airfare for employees who get an abortion outside of their state.
They are allowing the public to vote on whether or not to protect unborn infants, and their expectant moms are “very unsettling for companies,” according to pro-abortion groups.

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies are increasingly being pushed to include pro-abortion elements. According to ESG, a company’s value is determined by factors unrelated to its primary economic operations, such as its stance on social and political issues. BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard are among the prominent fund managers in the United States that have secretly embraced radical practices.
Because of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court has mandated the right to an abortion until birth, which has been a boon to businesses searching for an excuse to avoid implementing or prioritizing policies that support families. For this reason, it’s no surprise that employers that pay abortion-related charges abuse their employees, particularly women, such as discriminating against pregnant workers and placing female employees in dangerous working circumstances.
Abortion-related travel expenses can cost as much as $4,000 per year, Amazon said in May. New York’s Department of Labor has filed a complaint against Amazon for allegedly forcing pregnant employees to take unpaid leave rather than providing accommodations. Employees who were refused accommodations and terminated because they became pregnant were the subject of at least seven class-action lawsuits filed in 2019. They requested “longer restroom breaks and fewer continuous hours on their feet,” according to the study. When a worker informed their bosses that she was pregnant, she was dismissed.
As a result of her frequent requests for lower work duties, an Amazon employee in Oklahoma ended up miscarrying. Workers at an Amazon warehouse had to be treated for heat exhaustion in 2011 because of the severe conditions.
It’s no secret that Bank of America is a staunch supporter of Roe v. Wade and is considering adopting abortion benefits. According to a complaint, a branch manager advised a female employee to get an abortion while working for the company.
Abortion-rights protesters and AOC were detained after a blockade of the streets before the Supreme Court.
In addition to being incredibly “woke,” after much fanfare, Microsoft said it would pay for the costs of abortion-related travel. Management said the firm did not want to “waste” promotion on a worker if she became pregnant, and the corporation has been accused of discriminating against pregnant women.
Rather than treating working mothers and their children like cogs in the machine, a forward-thinking business would develop measures to help them maintain their skills and the families they’ve started. There are countless examples of business executives using the cause of “women’s rights” to further their financial interests.
Pro-life ESG policies threaten millions of unborn infants and their mothers, and the United States must take action to protect them. ESG investments account for an estimated $35.3 trillion, or more than a third of all assets in big markets. Since the unelected Supreme Court judges won’t follow their orders, the pro-abortion movement has a great instrument in the form of ESG’s destructive power and pliable standards to manipulate and abuse.
This is only the beginning. It is expected that in areas where abortion is allowed up until birth, they would push for more and more firms to be forced to subsidize abortion on demand, even the most painful and deadly late-term abortions. According to BlackRock’s CEO Larry Fink, “You have to push habits, and at BlackRock, we are pushing habits on people.”
In June, Walmart shareholders rejected a planned audit of “risks and costs to the corporation caused by implemented or proposed state regulations severely restricting reproductive rights.” However, there is a reason for optimism (abortion). If we all know how these monies are being exploited to undermine our democratic process and single out expectant mothers, we have a better chance of stopping them.
